The Philosophers' Daughter

Description

Why care for the weak and vulnerable if survival is all that matters? Why are people so concerned with fashions and the labels on clothes? Isn’t religion just a matter of being conditioned by your parents? Why is it wrong to eat horses and not cows? What is love?

Over several years, theologian and philosopher Peter Vardy has collected the most searching and significant questions of his two daughters, Petra and Thora. In this book, he presents 59 of the questions, which he hopes are a fair reflection of some of the most important questions and concerns of many young people around the world, and offers the answers of some of the world’s leading religious thinkers. With colour illustrations by Rabbi Dan Cohn-Sherbok.
